    TCP Port Numbers Reused: VE -> PBS

    I have reduced the number of failed connection attempts by about ~50% by increasing the ephemeral port range on PVE net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 1024 65535 Not a solution, but it helps. I think it would actually be better if PVE just maintained a long lived TCP connection and reused that...

    How to protect VM disks from accidental deletion?

    Well, this is a little embarrasing. I was restoring my Plex VM after giving up on UEFI boot with Nvidia gpu and I have plenty of restoration points for the main boot disk. I restore the disk, and go into the hardware section to verify, and I see two unattached disks. One being my main media...

    TCP Port Numbers Reused: VE -> PBS

    I have recently come across an issue with Proxmox VE 8 and Proxmox Backup Server 3. Every couple of hours, a log message will appear saying VE couldn't connect to the backup server. After doing a packet capture, I saw that Proxmox is creating two connections at a time of about 22-27 packets...

    User permission roles for host networking creation

    I have some unpriviledged tester users that have access to all VM roles for a certain Pool. I would also like to give them the ability to create open vswitches and linux bridges so they can create more complex networking setups. I've tried both users as pam and pve realms, and given them...

    Best way to move VMs to new hardware (new local storage)

    Soon I'm going to be moving all my VMs from one node to new hardware. The existing local storage is LVM-thin, all VM disks are qcow. The new hardware is going to be all new SSDs in a ZFS array. I have a dedicated PBS node that has current backups of all my VMs and the host. After some research...

    [TUTORIAL] How to install Proxmox Backup Client under Ubuntu%

    Is there anyway to get the debian package from proxmox anymore? The repository listed above now requires authentication. NVM, Works fine through apt. Just not a browser.

    proxmox-backup-proxy - Missing GIFs - /extjs/theme-crisp/resources/images

    I have a zabbix agent installed for host monitoring. I just checked on both of my PVE hosts and they don't contain the gifs either, but the error is not produced when logging into them. Just cleared my browser data for the PBS web interface, and it appears to have solved the issue. I suppose...

    By third party changes, do you mean additional debian repos? What do you mean by revert it?

    Just noticed that I accidentally created one of my containers with its storage on my backup nfs mount. I tried moving the disk storage in the gui and got this error: Formatting '/var/lib/vz/images/101/vm-101-disk-0.raw', fmt=raw size=53687091200 preallocation=off Creating filesystem with...

    A Conversation about Backup Strategies and PBS

    We definitely disagree on the value of a pull model, but I completely understand the ROI for this feature. At the end of the day, I'm nobody and you guys are the devs making this all happen, and I appreciate the work y'all have done.

    A Conversation about Backup Strategies and PBS

    You make some great points, and I'd like to take a moment to address some details in your response. If an attacker compromised the hypervisor and also had the PBS management root credentials, there is nothing stopping them from logging into the management interface from a PVE host. A network...

    A Conversation about Backup Strategies and PBS

    I briefly mentioned the users/tokens feature originally, I think its a great security feature and use it myself. Your point about not trusting the PBS host is an interesting backup model. If PBS is being used as an offsite backup, then this model does make sense, and is used frequently in the...

    A Conversation about Backup Strategies and PBS

    One of the big problems I had with Veeam was the licensing requirement for more than 10 VMs, and their stubbornness to never develop a Linux based backup and replication server. It was a significant part of why I dumped ESXi and moved to PVE.
